Good thinking. The question is often posed to vets from rescues, "Are current pets UTD on vaccines?". The rescue will usually defer to the vets protocol.

I would not see a vet who tried to force annual core vaccines. That is just way over the top in this day and age. We are a DHP 5 year hospital. I am sure Rylee's rescue would not like it, but he is UTD according to his vet and that is all they need to know.

A yearly or twice yearly exam, labs, and heartworm prevention is the hetter way to spend on your pups.

Opinions on titers vary. I have found them to be a waste of money but can understand why some feel better doing them.

The vet is right that the vaccines are labeled for 1 year. That is not a lie. However, that is not a reason to give it that often with so much evidence to the contrary.
